Third person's POV Bruce was sitting on the couch and relaxed his body. He tried to focus on the financial news broadcast on television, trying not to let himself be disturbed by the grumbling of his mother, who was sitting next to him. “Your father took away all the money and went looking for that bitch. He hasn't even spoken to me for two days,”Bruce's mother retorted. “That whore's son received a mansion from him just because he wanted to celebrate his birthday there.” She took a sip of tea, then looked at Bruce when he had completely focused on the financial news. His disregard completely exasperated her. She put her teacup down on the table, took the remote and turned off the television. Bruce frowned, looking at her. “Bruce, did you hear what I said?” She said. “Yeah, of course, Mom. My father is so generous,” he said casually. "What? What the hell are you thinking? He, my father, brought his family's money to a whore and her fucking son. And you're here, calm down and th

Ivor and I went for a walk in the hospital garden. We walked shoulder to shoulder, no one said anything that made the atmosphere between us was like a vacuum. I felt confused as to how to break the silence, but I quickly let myself focus on enjoying the walk.We went back to my room when I felt sleepy.Before Ivor left, he said while I was surfing my phone, “I'll come pick you up at the mansion tomorrow morning.”“What about your job?” I asked. Ivor is a hard worker, he usually starts his work at 6 am . “You don't have to pick me up, give me the address, I'll get there myself.”“But I'll be worried,” Ivor said. His voice was soft.I looked at him in surprise. Would he be worried? About what?“Come on,” I said.Ivor just laughed, “Good night, and I'll still pick you up tomorrow morning.” And he left.The next morning, he went to the hospital as soon as I had finished eating breakfast.“You're on time, I just finished eating my breakfast,” I said, and the guards escorted us to the car.

After finding a suitable location for the stone lotus, which was the coffee table, I fell asleep because I was tired. When I woke up, darkness had already fallen outside the window, but my room was still lit by the dim nightlight.But I hadn't turned on the night light before.I sat up and saw Ivor working at the coffee table. The blue light that emanated from his laptop showed me vaguely his serious face.“Ivor?” I called. And as soon as he looked at me, I asked, "What time is it?"“After nine o'clock,” Ivor looked at his watch, then he stood up and brought me a glass of warm water.“Thanks,” I took his drink and filled my throat while he turned on the light.“I heard you and Anna went out in the morning? Is it enjoyable?” Ivor asked, walking over to the coffee table and closing his laptop.My eyes followed his every move and quickly realized that the succulent plant that Bruce gave me had been replaced by another succulent plant.“Where's it?” I asked in surprise."What?" Ivor looke

My lower abdomen was constantly throbbing, I hold my lower abdomen hopelessly and hoped that I can protect my baby.I didn't want to lose my baby.“Lia, are you okay?” a familiar deep voice mixed with a bit of anxiety rang out in my ears, then I felt someone carefully hugging me from behind.“Ivor?” I turned around and saw Ivor and said, “My lower stomach hurts, I want to go to the hospital, please take me to the hospital.”I could feel him kissing my head. Ivor picked me up and took me out of the cafe.“Stop, I won't let you leave. You have to abort that pregnancy and come back with me,”my mother shouted.“You, you-is that the baby's father? Is that him? He's the father of the child, isn't he?” I heard my mother's voice clearly.My whole body trembled when my secret was exposed, and I responded reflexively, “No, not him, he'll never be the father of the baby.” And then I lost consciousness.…I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw were the bright white ceiling panels. Memories of wh

I opened my eyes and realized that it was already morning. I fell asleep while I was watching a movie and Ivor was working. I didn't think I could have slept last night, at least not before Ivor was with me.I slowly sat up and someone adjusted my sleeping position to be more comfortable while I was sleeping. Because I remembered, I fell asleep leaning my back against the head of my bed.I looked around the room where no one was, but I looked around it again and again.The sound of birds singing at the window reminds me that the air outside was very fresh. I went to the window, opened it, immediately I felt the cool and fresh air. My soul was soft and for a few seconds I looked forward to a new day.‘Knock, knock,’ the knock suddenly rang out, and I instinctively looked at the door.Someone knocked on the door again, but this time I heard a familiar voice behind the door.“Lia, are you awake?” Anna said, her voice soft, like she was probing whether I was awake rather than trying to w
